Nano Labs Founder Kong Jianping: Bitcoin Hashrate Plummets, At Least 400,000 Mining Machines Shut Down
Kong Jianping, former co-chairman of the board of directors of Canaan Technology and current founder and chairman of Nano Labs, cited his previous tweet about “Bitcoin mining farms in Xinjiang shutting down one after another,” stating that Bitcoin hashrate has dropped by 100 EH/s since yesterday, a decrease of 8%.
He further analyzed that, based on an average hashrate of 250T, this means that at least 400,000 mining machines have ceased operation.
Superfortune Launches AI-Driven Web2 App
Superfortune, a Web3 AI application incubated by Manta, has officially launched its Web2 app, expanding its strategic focus to mainstream global consumer markets to generate more real revenue, targeting a market size of $392 billion.
Previously, through partnerships with Trust Wallet and Four.meme, the “Burn-to-Earn” feature allowed users to convert BNB Chain tokens of value into Superfortune’s native token GUA, and to sell existing cash flow from Fortune Charms.
HashKey’s Hong Kong IPO priced at HK$6.68, raising approximately US$206 million
Hong Kong-licensed cryptocurrency exchange HashKey priced its IPO at HK$6.68 per share on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, close to the upper limit of its offering range (HK$5.95–6.95). A total of 240.6 million shares were offered, raising a total of HK$1.6 billion (approximately US$206 million).
The top 20 institutional investors were allocated approximately 80% of the institutional shares, resulting in a high overall subscription multiple. The company will list on Wednesday, and the funds raised will be used for expanding technology, recruiting talent, and strengthening risk control.
Japanese Media: Bank of Japan Expected to Raise Interest Rates to 0.75%, Highest in 30 Years
According to Nikkei, the Bank of Japan will hold a monetary policy meeting on December 18-19, raising the current policy rate of 0.5%, and is now in the final coordination stage. The most likely scenario is a 25 basis point increase to 0.75%, reaching the highest interest rate level in 30 years since 1995.
Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda and other senior officials have hinted at their intention to submit a proposal to raise interest rates. Surveys indicate that more than half of the nine policy board members, including the governor and deputy governors, are expected to support the rate hike.
